Exploring Particle Physics in 2D BCFT: D-branes, Twist Fields and Defect CFT
Date:
In this short seminar for the midterm of the Ph.D. programme, we explore topics on particle physics seen from the perspective of 2D BCFT and open strings. We build a Standard Model-like scenario with semi-phenomenological properties using intersecting D-branes in $\mathrm{SO}(4)$ at angles and time-dependent defects. We then study the properties of the arising non Abelian twist fields and Abelian spin fields.
